There are three restaurants, the nicest of which is
Restaurante Kapa Hapa,
inspired by
the cultures of Asia and the Pacific. A beautifully luminescent Polynesian sailboat graces
the entrance as you make your way up the stairs to the second-floor dining room. Try the
chicken satay and wash it down with a Mai Tai. Main dishes cost $7-12. Outdoor seating
overlooking the Moana swimming pools is also available and is a great place for breakfast,
which includes a delicious menu of croissant sandwiches or lighter fare such as yogurt and
pancakes.
